Yeah, that was BRILLIANT and is going on my "Best of the Forum" thread, along with David Winter's superb "TLDR: Guide for Almost Everything" (thanks for highlighting that).

Re: the "Urrr guys, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE" video ...

a) (as previously pointed out) you guys watching a video makes for TERRIBLE radio!
b) personally I don't think you should have mentioned it, it's a huge spoiler (not even sure it was supposed to be in beta) and it's somewhat ironic that you then discussed whether it was a spoiler

Crikey, that sounds a bit critical. Great show as ever, I think Marshall is a brilliant contributor (so a belated welcome from me).

No Don't Worry.

Completely Valid Criticism.

I totally agree with this, although twitch is an excellent way to broadcast the live show, we're going to have to either cut out things like that from the podcast or add a lot of Audio description (Which I tried to do but unsuccessfully).

There was a little discussion about whether FDev should have put that kind of thing in the Beta but it didn't occur to me that it was spolierish until I say the threads on Reddit. An Editorial discussion might be needed.

From what I gather, those videos are taken in Maia which is locked off in the Beta, only it seems like FD forgot to remove the players who were already parked in Maia at the time - therefore I suspect that encounter wasn't supposed to be able to happen in the beta.

The video that we were refering about was deep in Imperial territory and I don't think in a 'locked off' system. I strongly suspect that the Maia video was a SNAFU though. Hopefully FD have learned from this since non of us like getting spoiled

On the subject of Warcraft (and yes, I lost a few years of my life to that one) and its mission structure, one thing I wanted to interject with, and something I would never want to see in ED, is the problem of killing (or interacting with) named NPCs. In Warcraft you'd frequently end up with players literally queuing up to kill the same NPC. One player would get his turn and then everyone else would wait for the character to respawn again. Absolute classic MMO story problem and a total immersion (sound of dev dying in background) breaker!

P.S. thanks for the "Best of forum" shoutout.

Lol you have to love Hogger though! What got me though was when e got to the Northland and were docking. There was a queue for volunteers but you (and everyone else) were me by someone lieutenant and personally thanked for being awesome and so on

As ever, shutting the podcasts app and reopening it was enough to resolve the problem. That is my journey home sorted now.

Tell me about it, I've got that and last nights Q&A stream to watch. I may just have to sit on my train all the way to Birmingham and back again! Can someone have a word with Frontier and ask them not to do their Q&A's on the same night as Lave Radio plz.
